Rising above the mighty pine forests of Helethor, jet-black against the night's sky, is mount Serithor. Within its depths lies a mighty city; a whole country is concealed beneath the rock, spiralling down into the deep. The dwarves of Serithor kept in close contact with the Alliance and Khaz Modan during the old wars, but now, no message has reached them for many long years. They are at peace, though they still keep correspondence with the other dwarven cities. They are safe from all who would attack from the North, South, East or West. However, there is one enemy they are not prepared forâ€¦

In the bowels of the earth, many hands are busy, many eyes are fixed on the dwarves and their stronghold. Those shunned and repulsed by the light, those who seek glory and riches. The goblins.

Now, the attack has been launched, and far below the ground, a battle will rage that will shake the foundations of Azeroth.

"Keen are our eyes and sharp are our teeth,
watch out for the threat that lurks underneathâ€?

Hylic	Is this a replacment for the other Project (Battle for azeroth?(i'm not sure what it was called) either way it sounds a lot better.

Challis	You know, I don't understand why everyone is so excited now, back when I suggested it on the team gathering thread, I got a grand total of 0 replies

Challis	The mountain is in Azeroth, don't worry, it is to the left of Grim Batol (consult wc2 map)

STURMguy22	I think its more the middle earth thing that makes it lotr like. Thats what I thought when I first saw that I think the whole world is called azeroth even though there is also a continent called azeroth. I havent heard otherwise and I wish they would make it clearer what the whole world was actually called

Challis	Oh yeah, just noticed that Ignore the discription, it's wrong!

Frostigt	this are going to be before wc1 huh? or after WoW, because this war would probably been mentioned somewere otherwise....

Challis	Don't get so hung up on continuity, god knows blizzard doesn't ;) Also, this war isn't mentioned outside of the context of this story, because (as you find out after you've played it) all contact between the other dwarves is cut off by the goblins, it is very much a one on one battle between these two factions

Frostigt	I see... are it going to be sapeparate campaigns, or just the goblins/dwarves Hang on, this was mentioned somewhere, wasnt it?

Challis	Well, I'm not sure yet, it depends if I choose to pack it as a .mpq or if I make it a campaign file if it is a campaign file, then it'll probs be one big campaign (not sure how to make one quite so long though) and if it's a .mpq, it'll be two separate ones most likely, we'll go for the .mpq
